While many anime seasons provide great new shows, it seems for a lot of fans that the Spring 2018 anime season has been especially stacked as it brought the premieres of many highly anticipated series.

One of which is Persona 5 the Animation, an anime based off the latest video game in a series with a very dedicated fan base. Games in the series have gotten anime adaptations in the past, so fans were hoping the latest entry would get an adaptation as well.

Read on to see what fans have thought of Persona 5 the Animation's premiere episode, and leave your thoughts in the comments!
